I have been dosing Pro BioS, -NP Pro, Amino Mix, Vitality, Energy and Build into my mixed reef for several months (sps, euphilia and torches, favia, pectinia, zoas, etc). Pro BioS and -NP Pro get dosed nightly. The others get added 3x/week. Both my phosphates and nitrates are zero. The standard thinking is that phosphate should be between .05-.1 and nitrate between 10-15. My question is does this logic hold with the products I'm using or are the AF products that I'm dosing take care of what elevated phosphates/nitrates would do naturally? In other words, should I remove the -NP Pro from my schedule and start adding something like Brightwell's NeoNitro and NeoPhos to increase my levels?
